On January 25th 2015, by the joint efforts of The Burlington County Search and Rescue and Greater Philadelphia Search and Rescue, Christopher was recovered. The funds that were raised thus far will be donated to these organizations. The groups are non profit and work solely off donations. The family will also put funds toward the cost funeral services and provide assistance to other family in need of assistance in dealing with a tragedy such as this.

Canvass Update

Note: Due to the overwhelming updates, as well as the HUGE list I’m trying to reorganize, I am falling behind, so I apologize if updates are coming in a bit slower. Once I get some reorganization to this big list and some automatic social media blasts set up, I can dedicate much more attention to keeping all of these wonderful updates posted to the site ASAP! Thanks SO MUCH! MK

Thank you to all that have commented on this post. I know you cannot see your comments, but trust me, we are getting them all!

IMPORTANT! – It seems like telephone poles are off limits. The utility company is removing them, so no point in wasting flyers on them.

PLEASE REMEMBER: If you feel there is even a chance you have seen Chris, please contact the Phila Police Department immediately and file a report. No lead is a bad lead, but waiting to call may cost an opportunity to find him. You are not wasting their time by calling. Here is the info: Please contact Philadelphia South Detective Division at 215-686-3013 if you have any information regarding Chris’ whereabouts. You can also call 911. Do not approach Chris, as he may try to get away. Please contact the police first before reaching out to this website or the other pages/sites set up — time is of the essence.

We’d like to expand the search area to include:

Montgomeryville

West Chester

Chadds Ford

Kennett Square

Exton

Downingtown

Thorndale

Swarthmore

Media

Newtown Square

NJ across the river, like Camden and Trenton (especially train stations)

So far we have covered:

Cityline Ave and Presidential Blvd (where he got off the ramp)

555 Cityline Ave in Bala Cynwyd and all businesses in the surrounding area

Upper Roxborough – Dunkin Donuts, Planet Fitness, several pizza shops, several hair salons, a few pet stores, a few convenience stores and several gas stations; woman in H&R block said that the manager already had one and waiting for approval on posting it

St. Joe’s University area (including events coordinator at the St. Joe’s women’s basketball game)

7-Eleven, St Joe’s U

Wawa, Montgomery Ave, Ardmore

Acme, Montgomery Ave, Ardmore

Starbucks, Lancaster Ave, Ardmore

Starbucks, Suburban Square

Wawa, Conshy State Rd, Merion Station

McDonalds, City Ave, near St Joe’s U

Liberty Gas Station, Merion Station

Upper Main Line YMCA, Berwyn, PA

Andorra Shopping Center Ridge Ave to Pep Boys to Holds True Value

Ivy Ridge Shopping Center at Ridge & Domino Lane

Maple Glen Shopping Center in Ambler

Paoli Line Stations

Five block radius all the way back to Ardmore area down Lancaster Pike, Montgomery Avenue, Conshohocken State Road and checked churches but most were locked

Castor Ave. from Hellerman to Tyson. Mom & Pop’s, & Rite Aid

Franklin Mills Bus Stops and area – covered all Franklin Mills bus waiting areas with three fliers each, and tried to get at least two fliers on each light post of the Orange Entrance lot by Wal-Mart and Sears (ran out of flyers; if anyone else is in the area and can get one of the other lots that would be helpful)

Emailed the Live with Kelly and Michael show since Kelly Ripa is also a former Dance Party star. Hopefully a staff member will pass the message to her and hopefully bring further awareness in the search for Chris.

Belmont hospital?
Crown plaza hotel and Hilton? I’m sure I probably just missed these in the list, and I know it’s a long shot since he didn’t have credit cards but maybe he checked in or went to the lobby. Praying for chris every day.

There are two Motels/Hotels on Baltimore Pike on the boarder of Morton and Springfield that are known to be a bit shady. I believe one is a Days Inn. Have you checked to see if he could be staying there?

I found a truckers forum – thetruckersreport.com. Looks like they have an active forum. I thought it might be a good idea to post there (I saw other missing persons posts). I’m afraid I’m not very technically-savvy myself or I would do it. Maybe Chris hitched a ride with a truckdriver.

Spoke to a representative at PATCO and they do not allow the posting of non-PATCO communications at their stations. I am going to leave some flyers at the Ferry Ave station in Camden tomorrow morning when I head to work.

I work in the GSB building at City Line and Belmont, down the street from where Chris went missing. This morning, the management office distributed the Find Tully flyer to all tenants. Praying for Chris and your family and believe he will be found safe.

Have you contacted the psychiatric hospitals in the area? Belmont, Horsham Clinic, Brooke Glen and MCES for starters. They may tell you that they can’t confirm or deny, but if he is there, they can ask him to give consent to speak with family. Just a thought. Envisioning him returning home safely.

I was thinking about the same thing especially since Belmont is so close to where he was headed – they wouldn’t release a thing though and if he chose not to let family know… I wonder if the police went there with a court order … and I’m sure (I hope) they’ve checked all calls prior to phone being off and called those people…

My thoughts and prayers are with Chris and his family. I called Riddle Hospital, 1068 West Baltimore Pike, Media, Pa and as of 9:05 p.m. 1/12, they don’t have a patient by the name of Christopher Tully.

We have another office in Bryn Mawr directly across the street from the Bryn Mawr Train station. We will be posting flyers there today and tomorrow. The train station address is: 54 N. Bryn Mawr Avenue Bryn Mawr, PA 19010

Left flyers on saturday:
– methodist hospital bulletin board
– jefferson hopsital bulletin board
– 11th and moore streets due to high traffic for mummers serenade
– LA fitness city line ave
– open to other ideas!

I provided a flyer to my aunt who works for Citizens Bank. She is going to email it to her colleagues so that it can be displayed in the branches in and around the Philly area. It’s also going to my aunt who works in a hospital off of the boulevard. I know that another colleague of Chris also emailed it to her Dragon Boat teammates and it was blasted to 8,000 people (no lie).

Paoli hospital is a trauma center for,chester county good place,to check and,drop,off a flyer. I used,to work emergency services in,the paoli area but no longer live in PA. Or i would spread flyers etc

Just came back from handing out flyers in the Chestnut Hill area: Starbucks; Top of the Hill Cafe; Weavers Way Co-op; Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant; Fiesta Pizza III, Chestnut Hill Hospital (information desk and employee cafeteria areas); and Sunoco gas station (Stenton and Mt. Airy Ave). Also, Security Officer at The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania reported approximately 2pm there was no record of him in their patient database.

I came to Philly today but along my drive I posted on Byberry Road up to Evans Road. That is where you turn left to either go to Franklin Mills Mall or head to 95. I posted where cars can see them. Three on each pole.

Utility poles are off limits. We believe the utility companies have been taking them down. I just don’t want anyone to waste time putting up flyers and have them down the next day or so. But thanks for the update!!

Just a heads up. My husband posted fliers on every utility pole on the Roosevelt Blvd from Welsh to Tyson a couple days ago & today they are gone. I am assuming the utility co. removed them. I’ve heard since then that utility poles are not allowed.

Chris Tully’s MBIT colleagues/friends covered all of the SEPTA’s stations down City Line Avenue that were listed , we also covered more of the stations down the Paoli line. we extended the five block radius all the way back to Ardmore area down Lancaster Pike, Montgomery Avenue, Conshohocken State Road and checked churches but most were locked. Wherever we didn’t see Flyers we put more up on telephone poles, bus stops etc. Flyers were also given to passerbys.

Students go back for classes on Wednesday. We have a volunteer to distribute more flyers in that area starting Wednesday. Student already posting findtully info on social media so hopefully fellow students will pass the message around.

How about hotels by the air port he may check in at one that could give him room services so he don’t have to leave the room he will need to eat at some point and this would keep him from going out. If he is safe then he knows to stay in one spot. This is just a thought I know our mines are running. If you want flyers out this way I could do so, just let me know.

Ed, we are friends of Dad And Mom, I’m Joe Mehl’s nice.
Our prayers are with you, we are flollowing you ever step. I have question, did anyone have his phone check for any calls that morning between 6:15 and the time his phone went off. Or even before that to see who he may have talked to. Then the phone company could track that number. We live in prospect park, if anything we could do out at this end please let us know..please tell mom and dad our hearts are with you. Debbie

I called the main number and no answer (856)757-7689 Camden homeless services.

However, I did talk to someone at:
Aletha R. Wright Vision of Hope Center
271 Atlantic Avenue
Camden, NJ 08104
(856) 966-0909
She basically said that it is confidential whomever chooses to come to the shelter and they can not give out info if the person is at the shelter. But if the police were to get involve and call and or go there……………they would be able to release information.

Just wanted to let you know that I tried incase anyone else tries to call OR perhaps the police should contact main number because they cover about 2 dozen stations for the homeless.

Tully Family,
We are praying for Chris’s safe return! Chris thought Patrick at MBIT for three years! We are devistated and are continuing to check this site and hope for his safe return!

I was wondering did he have money with him? Could he have gone further away with his funds? Just a thought! Does he have friends in other states that he could be with? What about a candlelight gathering to be together for strength and prayer. Some sort of togetherness during this difficult time.

Years ago my brother who is bipolar was missing and we found that he would go to childhood places he loved like his old schools and recreation centers where he played sports. We also traced his debit card and found him at the airport one time. I hope you find your loved one soon i know how hard it can be.

praying for all of you in Lincoln,NE. Chris is an amazing teacher and we were together as Apple ADEs. I think of him often and am doing everything I can to spread the word and pray for all of you. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Hi guys, I’ve left flyers at all the stores in the ivy ridge shopping center (ridge & domino lane) including the laundry mat/Tony Rony side EXCEPT “sleepy’s” the employee said he got in trouble when he posted a flyer of another missing person. I also went to wawa & cvs on ridge but someone already beat me to it. Gonna try to post on poles tmrw if I cn. Stay positive & keep praying for chris’ safe return ♡
